Welcome to Reading Adventure!

  The world of reading is full of adventures, excitement, joy, emotions and knowledge. When parents talk to their babies, the linguistic development starts. Babbling is the way the babies talk. Gradually the words and short sentences make possible to communicate more and more. When parents read to their children, they promote children´s development in many ways, as you can find out in these lectures.

Reading Adventure entirety offers four lectures related to the world of books and reading, their importance and effects on child´s development. There are also ideas on how to inspire children to read. We hope that you all will be able to create a reading culture with your family.

THE MATERIAL MUST NOT BE SHARED. THE MATERIAL IS MEANT ONLY FOR LICENCE HOLDERS.

Designers of the Finnish Active Learning courses and lectures

We are class teachers Teija Kauppi, Master of Arts (Education), and Eija Leskinen, Master of Arts (Education), a drama educator and a non-fiction writer. We have trained teachers as well as club instructors. Action-based learning has been a part of our pedagogy for out entire teaching careers. We have observed that it motivates and enthuses students to learn. The adoption of new ideas is made easier when it happens through playing and moving. We hope that our course inspires and encourages more and more teachers to try some action-based teaching methods. For those for whom activity is already a part of their teaching, we want to share new ideas for cheering up the school days.

Finnish Active Learning is the name of our company. We plan active learning courses for teachers and parents teaching children aged 3-12. Finnish Active Learning is a digital material full of versatile ideas utilizing different learning environments and versatile equipment and materials.There are also plenty of printable materials, art and craft ideas and lectures of various topics.
